“The universe defies you to answer the following questions: What good is a high paying career if it leaves you continually stressed out and miserable? What good is owning a large stately house if the only time you spend in it is when you sleep in it? What good is having a lot of interesting possessions if you never have the free time to enjoy them? Above all, what good is having a family if you seldom see any of its members?” IfsInspirationalUniverseHouseEnjoySleepAnswersInterestingCareersMembersFollowingPossessionMiserableOnly TimeStressedFree TimeStressed Out Author:Ernie J Zelinski

“For a young man, sleep is a sure solvent of distress. There whirls not for him in the night any so hideous phantasmagoria as will not become, in the clarity of the next morning, a spruce procession for him to lead. Brief the vague horror of his awakening; memory sweeps back to him, and he sees nothing dreadful after all. "Why not?" is the sun's bright message to him, and "Why not indeed?" his answer.” MenYoungNightNextMemoriesSleepAnswersMorningSunHorrorMessagesAwakeningClarityYoung ManWhy NotDistressVagueHideousProcession Book:Zuleika Dobson: An Oxford Love Story Source: Zuleika Dobson: An Oxford Love Story

“There are many ways of inducing sleep--the thinking of purling rills, or waving woods; reckoning of numbers; droppings from a wet sponge fixed over a brass pan, etc. But temperance and exercise answer much better than any of these succedaneums.” ThinkingWaySleepAnswersNumbersExerciseWoodsFixedEtcWetDroppingTemperanceReckoningSpongesBrass Author:Laurence Sterne
“J.P. Morgan once had a friend who was so worried about his stock holdings that he could not sleep at night. The friend asked, 'What should I do about my stocks?' Morgan replied, 'Sell down to your sleeping point' Every investor must decide the trade-off he or she is willing to make between eating well and sleeping well. High investment rewards can only be achieved at the cost of substantial risk-taking. So what is your sleeping point? Finding the answer to this question is one of the most important investment steps you must take.” ShouldWellsImportantNightSleepAnswersStepsRiskWillingCostFindingsEatingTradeSellsInvestmentRewardsWorriedInvestorsShould IRisk-takingTrade OffsEating Well Author:Burton Malkiel
